If you experience trouble with the notifications coming from Tidio mobile app - you may want to check if certain phone settings on iPhone, Android devices, or third-party apps are blocking them. We will help you to navigate to them in this article. 

 

Android menu names vary by manufacturer and OS version. The device-specific examples below include older versions. If a path does not match your phone, use its current notification and app battery settings instead. Changing battery optimization can increase battery use.

💡
After making any changes, we recommend that you restart your device and test notifications again. Also, please keep in mind that, in some cases, you may need to reinstall the Tidio mobile app to start receiving mobile notifications. 
 

Checking Tidio first

Open the Tidio mobile app and go to Settings > Notifications > Notification Troubleshooting. Follow the checks shown on your device.

If the checks show that your chat status is Offline, open your Tidio settings and change it. If your Operating Hours have set you offline, you will not receive notifications outside those hours. Review the schedule and its time zone in Tidio on your computer.

After making changes, tap Run again to repeat the checks, or Send a Test Message to test your notification settings.
